Neisseria meningitidis from invasive disease

Saturday 23rd February 2019

Laboratories throughout New Zealand are requested to refer all invasive isolates of N. meningitidis to ESR as part of the laboratory-based surveillance of meningococcal disease. The antimicrobial susceptibility of these isolates is routinely tested at ESR.

Annual reports on antimicrobial susceptibility among N. meningitidis from invasive disease are available.
